Chapter 110 Safe and bloody battle
Of course, the matter of adjusting cannons from Kuanhe is not up to Haoge. This requires Huang Taiji to agree. However, when this proposal came to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji agreed after just a moment.
Unlike the Tianxiong Army, the number of artillery of the Liu family army is not superior to that of the Tianxiong Army. The Liu family army has only 32 pieces of the captured Folang machine artillery, and the Tianxiong Army has only 14 pieces except Yang Shien'en's troops. Like Li Chongzhen, Lei Shisheng's troops are all twenty-six pieces. Together with the Tianxiong Army, the total number of the Folang machine artillery of the entire Tianxiong Army is 66 pieces, which is more than twice that of the Liu family army.
If there are many artillery, it does not mean that the combat effectiveness is strong.
The number of Bo Langji cannons under Bao Chengxian was more than 70,000 pounds of the Red Barbarian cannons weighing 3,000 pounds was twice and the number of the Liu family army. However, the Red Barbarian cannons were not transported, and the Folangji cannons could not be fired against the Liu family army.
Otherwise, you will be beaten very badly.
Liu Mingyu is a giant standing on the shoulders of historical giants. He has long known the advantages and disadvantages of the Flang machine cannon from later generations. After being improved into a granular black gunpowder by Zhang Yingjiu, the gunpowder bureau has increased the explosive power of the gunpowder. Secondly, the Guns and Cannon Bureau has improved the size of the artillery sub cannon, so that the gap between the female cannon and the sub cannon of the Flang machine is almost zero.
In this way, the Liu Family Army's artillery, which had the same caliber, not only had a longer range, but also had greater power. Although he knew that he could not gain any advantage in the artillery battle with the Liu Family Army, Huang Taiji naturally agreed to Haoge's proposal and transferred the artillery from Bao Chengxian to attack the Ping'an Bao Army's Ping'an Bao Army.
Although Kuanhe City is only forty or fifty miles away from Ping Anbao, this distance, in later generations, self-propelled artillery did not even need to move the firing position, and a phone call could be used to launch a shelling.
However, it took Bao Chengxian's artillery troops two whole days to pull the Flang machine cannons over. As for the Red Cannons, it took longer.
It was not that Bao Chengxian was deliberately trying to procrastinate, but because of the serious inequality within Jiannu. In the eyes of Jiannu, the Han army was actually cannon fodder and a consumable. The Liu family army and the Tianxiong army both provided limited mules and horses to artillery as much as possible, so that artillery could barely follow the troops under the drag of mules and horses.
On the contrary, Bao Chengxian's troops were the opposite. Originally, the Ming cavalry surrendered to Jiannu and would be deprived of the opportunity to ride a horse. The cavalry was directly used to use infantry, which was something that Jiannu could do. As for artillery, it could only be marching by pulling people and pushing people.
Although a mule is inconspicuous, five or six people are not as powerful as a mule, so it took three days to complete the artillery transfer for fifty or sixty miles.
After three days, Lu Xiangsheng basically had no hope for the Guanning Army. He could only rely on Tianxiong Army himself to pass this level.
However, early in the morning of the third day, a strong wind began to blow, and the strong wind blew the Tianxiong Army's flag.
Although soil erosion is not as serious as in later generations at this time, the visibility is very low under the influence of strong winds.
"God helps the big gold!"
The wind level at this time is almost equivalent to a strong wind of eight or nine levels. From time to time, leaves are blown away by the wind, and some tents are also swept away by the strong wind.
In theory, such a strong wind will have a fatal impact on the crossbow. Even if it is the crossbow of Tianxiong Army, the range of the fire is less than half of the usual in the face of the wind, while the range of the bow and arrow can be nearly doubled in the face of the wind.
The offensive and defensive momentum reverses.
Lu Xiangsheng narrowed his eyes and looked a little sad: "It seems that God will not take over the Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Shien asked in confusion: "What sir means..."
"We defend, Jiannu attack, they have the upper hand, this battle..."
Before Lu Xiangsheng could finish his words, in the northwest direction, there were waves of "whimpering" horns, and Jiannu was ready to attack.
Unfortunately, the weather suddenly changed and the vision was seriously blocked. Whether it was the downwind or the upperwind, the vision was no more than 30 meters. The huge wind became accomplices of Jiannu.
The Tianxiong Army soldiers in the trench were not subject to Jiannu, and the strong wind alone had already turned into dust.
Although the houses in Kuanhe City have been repaired, the problem is that most houses can barely shelter from wind and rain, provided that this kind of bad weather does not occur.
The wind just started in the morning, and so far, more than a hundred houses have appeared, even the roofs have been blown away, and dozens of houses have collapsed.
"What are you afraid of in this little wind? Save people!"
"Medical soldiers, two people come here!"
Liu Mingyu commanded the Liu family army to treat soldiers buried in houses while stabilizing the fearful people.
Chen Tianze handed a towel to Liu Mingyu, who was covered in dust.
Liu Mingyu then wiped his face with a towel, and finally felt a little better.
"General, Lord Lu is probably in big trouble!"
Liu Mingyu smiled and said, "What trouble can he have!"
"In this kind of ghost weather, muskets cannot be recharged, and crossbows cannot play a role. I am afraid that they can only be a massacre."
Liu Mingyu sighed and said, "This is an opportunity. All the soldiers of the army gathered!"
"General...General!"
"Wouldn't it be a pleasure to have a big battle with Jiannu?"
"General, you are so happy. What should I do next? Don't think about how much wealth our Liu family army has, can withstand the trouble?"
Liu Mingyu ignored Chen Tianze and said loudly: "Military Law Bureau, take over the whole city!"
"yes!"
"The first regiment, the second regiment, the third regiment, the fourth regiment, the fifth regiment, the cavalry regiment, the regiment-level, and the company-level officers gathered in the military headquarters!"
"Abide by the order!"
Liu Mingyu returned to the military headquarters. In the military atrium, Liu Mingyu stared at the map on the wall.
With the company commander, instructor, or regiment commander who received the order, all the supervisors arrived in the military conference room.
"close the door!"
As the door of the room was closed, the wind noise in the air was isolated from the door.
Liu Mingyu looked at the officers and said, "We are soldiers, not merchants. Merchants do business and have to calculate the gains and losses repeatedly, but soldiers don't. Soldiers are not just able to take advantage of them. When needed, even if they know that the enemy is large and we are few, even if they have no return, they must fight when they should fight. They must fight if they can beat them, and they must fight if they can't beat them!!"
Any army is a monster fed by victory, just like at that time, the monkeys beat the beautiful genius away and had a mysterious confidence, believing that the beautiful genius is the first, the big brother is the second in the world, and they themselves are the third in the world.
At that time, they were so crazy that they were no longer crazy.
This is actually the case with the Liu family army now. They followed Liu Mingyu and fought many battles, and they won almost every battle. Not only did they not fear Jiannu like other Ming troops, but they thought Jiannu was nothing special.
Chen Tianze advised: "General, the battle must be fought, but you can't fight it indiscriminately. You must never fight that kind of battle that will definitely be defeated!"
Liu Yongshun's tone was a little unkind. He stared at Chen Tianze and said, "Are you saying that we General Liu will definitely be defeated?"
Chen Tianze looked at the Liu family generals present and hurriedly explained: "I haven't said that, I'm just worried for the general!"
"Okay, don't argue!"
Liu Mingyu waved his hand and said, "Immediately order the head army to cook. Half an hour later, the entire army will start eating. The meal will be completed in a quarter of an hour. The whole army will follow me and step on Jiannu!"
"Straighten Jiannu!"
Chapter completed!
